Ciaran Kelly with the Chronicle, has tweeted the following passage from the Norwich City programme for today’s game.

In his programme notes, Daniel Farke writes: 'Steve is of course a Norwich legend, and he has all of my respect as a manager. Newcastle have lots of quality, but we will be focused on bringing our way of playing onto the pitch.' #nufc

It’s not too surprising that Farke will continue with the attacking football that won his team promotion last season. They are not really built to defend and will be without some key central defenders for this match.

Newcastle will have to focus on remaining disciplined defensively while also taking advantage of the weak Norwich defense. Jamaal Lascelles, Fabian Schar, and Paul Dummett will be key in today’s game. They must account for Teemu Pukki, who is Norwich’s main goal threat. He is a tireless runner and could cause Newcastle problems today if not contained.

Norwich’s wing-backs also like to attack, especially Max Aarons on the right. So whoever gets the nod for Newcastle on the flanks will have stay focused defensively.

Newcastle should be able to create some chances today, and we hope to see better delivery in the final third. Then it will be up to Joelinton and Almiron to be more clinical in front of goal.

This should be an exciting and open match. Norwich will be up for their first home game in the Premier League in three seasons.

Leopards don’t change their spots and while I can just about give the man a chance Bruce is already displaying worrying indications of being stuck in a time warp.
The early fiasco with Sheffield Wednesday, the eleventh choice rumours, the old school training ground runs to show who’s the big man, that substitution, that one minute change of mind and now woefully predicable pundit style comments that wouldn’t be out of place on the Fast Show.
Norwich are up for it to day albeit with a reduced squad.
We need to win and well.
Now is the time to accumulate points to get ahead of the pack at the start of the season and by christmas be well up the table.
First two games I would have said we should be taking 4 points. Three would be a step in the right direction.

lochinvar, speaking of leopards, did you know the original name for giraffes was camelopards. from the Greek language, because it has a long neck like a camel and spots like a leopard. (I expect to be shouted down about the origin…)
Dunno why i wanted to share that with you.

Well, I’m going for a Newcastle win today, 2-3 on my Super 6. Hope I get them all right, two million quid wouldn’t go amiss. 😀
Norwich like to attack and that leaves then vulnerable at the back for breaks. Miggy’s pace should be on full view today and hopefully St Max’s if he’s fit. Should give Joelinton space to score his goals.
A lot will depend on how we, cope at the back but we should be fine there. A win today, maybe nowt at Spurs and then another win v Watford should get us going. HTL

Don’t suppose the Norwich defenders see themselves as poor players, they’ll be up for the game.
Our lads need to take their chances!

I don’t mean to be rude. But you surely must be mistaken. I can’t even picture such a thing!
Hooky Southampton shirts perhaps?

21 December, 2022

I had a major checkup on my prostate cancer in early September 2022, and it looks like the Hormone treatment I have on has become much less effective.

The treatment options are now few, and I am in the final stages of stage 4 prostate cancer.

I was diagnosed with aggressive prostate cancer (Gleason count 4+3) in April 2011, and immediately had a prostatectomy, but cancer had already spread.

I was put on a course of radiation treatment in late 2011 (38 bouts every weekday for 8 weeks) and in December 2016, the cancer spread to the bones, and we were then in stage 4 - terminal cancer - no cure - but treatments to prolong life.

I have been on Lupron injections, Xtandi medication, and Xjeva injections since then as part of the Hormone treatment.

I recently met with Professor Young Whang at the University Of North Carolina (UNC) at Chapel Hill, and he reviewed my case from the very beginning and reviewed it with his colleagues too.

The recommendation is that I go onto radiopharmaceutical therapy - which is a fairly new form of treatment introduced about 9 years ago.

My particular treatment is Xofigo, a radioisotope of radium 223 dichloride, and I get it via an infusion into the veins: I started this treatment on November 23rd - and I will have 6 infusions: one infusion every 4 weeks.

My major side effects of these treatments has been major fatigue, tiredness and general weakness.

As I have said before - It is as it is and we have to deal with it.

Neil has continued with the blog and I will contribute - when I can.
